US EditionUS Border Patrol Launches Immigration Sweep in Charlotte
The CBP-led operation arrested 81 people targeting alleged violent criminals but sparked protests and local officials' criticism over community trust and tactics.

- DHS's operation name, 'Operation Charlotte's Web,' drew criticism, with Mark Cancian noting `The ones that are chosen are chosen for a reason to project a message` and experts highlighting scrutiny of such names amid political rhetoric.
